COLDWATER — The Coldwater Noon Rotary club recently purchased a trailer for the Coldwater High School and Coldwater Middle School marching bands.During a ceremony held at CHS Thursday, Band Boosters President Jennifer Henry thanked all the community members involved in the project."It has taken quite a number of people in the community to pull this together," she said. "The community of Coldwater is doing a fantastic job of supporting the arts, in particular the music and band program, with these donations. Educating our children in the arts is an important component of their overall education."The Noon Rotary club purchased the trailer with assistance from Haylett Auto and RV, which provided special pricing of the trailer, plates and title fees; Kiess Jewelry; which contributed toward the purchase of the graphic design on the trailer; and Tuckey Motorsports, which contributed toward the design graphics and application.The Band Boosters contributed toward the purchase of the graphic design on the trailer and Coldwater Community Schools provided the insurance coverage."The community supports you because of the heart you put into everything you do," Coldwater High School principal Bill Milnes told Henry and the band members present. "You have done an awesome job representing yourselves, your families and the community."The trailer will be used by the Coldwater High School and Coldwater Middle School bands to transport band equipment to events, competitions and festivals.The Coldwater Community Schools food service truck was previously used for this purpose."We want to say thank you to the community and to Mr. Milnes for being here," said band director Katie Jewell. "Mr. Milnes loves the band and the band loves Mr. Milnes."
